I enjoy reading the posts, but I am not much of a writer. Gagnaire was incredible, superb, not enough adjetives to describe what a wonderful evening we spent there. And the cost was worth every penny. Bux said: "it may be very easy to contest it unless the restaurant has a signed slip for the deposit. " Gagnaire sent a fax which required name, address, and credit card information and I had to sign it giving authorization to charge a deposit if we did not show up or cancel. Perhaps that's the way to go for all these small restaurants like Astrance so they don't loose out and neither do we.
